    Hi Billy,
    Hope as is going well for you back East. We are getting soaked out here in CA and things are growing at a rapid pace. Could be a big fire season or a big bust, I guess we will just wait and see. I'm hoping for some smaller fires so I can get my training in for Aircraft Timekeeping at the air tanker base. Take care and let me know if you come out this way!

I'm hoping to pick a couple more weeks with him. We been doing some burning when we can. I mostly just been teaching 130/190 classes. Hope everythings good in youy neighborhood! Ttyl Chance Hines
